In many countries plastic bags are the main source of rubbish, causing pollution on land and in the water, so many people think they should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

of

plastic

bags

has been a heated debate and has been highlighted on various media platforms.

Single-use

plastics are the main cause of pollution of water resources and landfill sites.

Therefore

it is the general opinion of many people that

plastic

should be completely banned. I completely agree with the notion of introducing a complete ban on non-biodegradable

plastic

.

Plastic

is the most abundant packing material and is easily available. Due to the easy availability and affordability its not appropriately discarded.

Moreover

, even if it is properly discarded at times the animals which scavenge for bits of rubbish tend to ingest the

single-use

plastic

which cannot be digested and is a health hazard. In a recent survey by One Green Planet over one million birds and marine animals were dead due to the blockage of their digestive system by

plastic

. If a ban is enforced

this

will

further

minimize the effect on the animals and reduce the mortality due to

plastic

consumption. While banning

plastic

alone will not resolve the problem as the source of

single-use

plastic

should be identified. The companies which manufacture non-biodegradable

plastic

should be fined a hefty tax and the number of units of

plastic

bags

produced by

such

companies should be monitored. A recent survey by economic times has highlighted that introducing a

plastic

tax could help the government generate revenue for setting up factories for the manufacture of alternatives to

plastic

bags

.

Thus

,

as a result

of banning

plastic

, the government can find alternative eco-friendly carry

bags

which would benefit the environment in the long run. In conclusion, along with banning

plastic

the production of

single-use

plastics should be targeted and taxed which will

further

lessen the impact on various flora and fauna. With the non-availability of

plastic

alternative materials can be made widely available by the government.
